The Health Shield: Protect a Student for 365 Days
SDG 3 · Good Health & Well-Being
It was not the lesson
that stopped him.
It was the fever.
Hassan was one of the strongest students in his class. Then malaria struck — and his family could not afford the clinic fee. Three weeks at home. Enough lessons missed to fall behind. Enough to change everything. A mosquito bite had done what poverty, distance, and hardship had not managed to do.
“A child who is sick cannot learn. A family who cannot afford the clinic cannot send a sick child to school. The Health Shield breaks this cycle at the source.” CODEWA Health Programme, Tabora
| Crise médicale | Without insurance, a single illness becomes a dropout. Clinic fees cost more than a week’s income. |
| ✅ Toto Afya Card | 365 days of doctor visits, consultations, and prescriptions — fully covered for €25. |
| Stigmatisation et pauvreté | Girls miss up to 60 school days a year because they cannot afford sanitary supplies. |
| ✅ MHM Kits | Reusable pads, soap, and a washbag — so no girl loses 60 days of school to a biological cycle. |
